I sent you some pictures form the "Creativity Center" in Dubuque. Look at these four concepts. If you could put them into two categories, which two concepts would be in each category and why?
I would categorize them into a physical and a mental group. Feeling and seeing are physical actions that require the human senses. Thinking and wondering are mental occurrences, this is why I feel they are separate from the physical category.
I would categorize them the the same way Nicole did, physical and mental. You can physically see and touch objects but you can't physically think and wonder. Also vise versa you can mentally think and wonder but you can't physically do those things.
I would put the first two pictures under a physical category because they involve physical actions and the last two pictures under a mental category because they associate with using the brain and inner self.
I agree with the previous comments. Feeling and Seeing would be put into their own category because we can physically see and feel objects, or people. Wondering and Thinking belong to a mental or psychologic category. No one can physically see what someone else is thinking or wondering.
I would categorize the four images into a mental and physical category. Feeling and seeing fall under the physical category because these two can physically be accomplished. Thinking and wondering are mental actions, belonging in a mental category.
As everyone else, I agree to put these four images into a mental and physical category. Feel and See I would place under physical because these two are physical attributes. Think and Wonder I would place under mental because they're mental actions.
I would categorize the images like everyone else. But I would put them with the thinking of the Greeks. Like we can see and touch the real world but also think about an unreal world. In this world we can think and wonder about than the real world.
I would separate feel and see from think and wonder because the first two could are actions that a person could actually do and the second two are mental actions that a person does in their mind or the unreal world.
Like everyone else I would separate them into the categories Physical and Mental. I would put 'think' and 'wonder' into mental and 'feel' and 'see' into physical. Thinking and wondering is not a physical occurrences but you do physically feel and see people, and things.
I agree that they could go into the physical and mental categories. They could also all be put into the mental category as well. You can feel emotions and see a vision. Think and wonder are the ones that best fit in with mental I think though.
I'd separate them into the categories, mental and physical. One can see and touch something, which makes them physical, while thinking and wondering are mental.
Just like the others One is physical ,touch and vision, which interact with the physical world. On the opposite of the spectrum there is thought and wonder which go into the category of mental or spiritual world.
Physical and mental categories would definitely fit these images. Feeling and seeing are attributes that we do, precisely. Thinking and wondering happen in our mind, making them best suited in the mental category.
I would also place feel and see into a physical category and the others in mental. But I could also organize them in the way of Wonder and Feel into one category and Think and See into their own. When I imagine Wonder, I want to be able to Feel what it is that I'm in wonder of. Whereas thinking seems to tie with sight more. For when I think I want to be able to See what my thoughts are.
Your all on the right track here!~ Ideas like feel and see might constitute what the philosopher David Hume would call empirical evidence. Something empirical is something that is directly experienced, and unable to be disputed in the physical world. The ideas of feel and wonder might constitute real things, but also they could be disputed. Descartes might argue that any rational person would know they exist, therefore they are part of what he would call the "light of nature" or things that we know innately, without having to draw on physical or empirical experience to know them.
So the blending of the two concepts (that you all did), introduce the argument between rationalism and empiricism that we will take up later in this class.
Also, when it comes to the concept of "thinking", we can't really prove empirically that we are thinking when we think, but you can put probes on your head to physically show you are. However, prior to this, Descartes noted that thinking is what proves we exist when he said .... "I think, therefore I am" which is known as the Cogito Ergo Sum.
I would also categorize them into physical and mental categories. I would put feel in the mental category if it is meant to be in the sense of someones feelings. I would put wonder and think in the mental category as well. I would put see in the physical category along with feel used in the sense of touching something.
I would use creative potential to describe think and wonder because they both include infinite potential. I would include feel and see as physical actions because these types of actions can actually be done by someone. Using physical images and touch, philosophers can think and wonder to create a new idea or discovery based on known knowledge and understanding.

ReplyDeleteInteresting!
DeleteI would separate feel and see from think and wonder because the first two could are actions that a person could actually do and the second two are mental actions that a person does in their mind or the unreal world.
ReplyDeleteI would put them into two categories: existence and essence. Think and wonder are the essence while see and feel are the existence.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else I would separate them into the categories Physical and Mental. I would put 'think' and 'wonder' into mental and 'feel' and 'see' into physical. Thinking and wondering is not a physical occurrences but you do physically feel and see people, and things.
